Question: A mixture of milk and water has a total volume of 42 liters, where milk and water are mixed in the ratio 3 : 4. How many liters of milk must be added so that the quantities of milk and water become equal?
Solution:
The ratio of milk to water is 3 : 4
Total portion = 3 + 4 = 7
Quantity of milk = 42 × (3/7) = 18 liters.
Quantity of water = 42 × (4/7) = 24 liters.
Let,
Quantity of milk to be added = x liters
According to the question,
(18 + x) : 24 = 1 : 1
⇒ (18 + x)/24 = 1/1
⇒ 18 + x = 24
⇒ x = 24 - 18
⇒ x = 6
∴ Quantity of milk to be added = 6 liters
